its a new decade

Its a new decade and we already have scandals brewing around the sports world. Allegedly Gilbert Arenas and Jarvis Chrittenden got into an argument over an unpaid bet and guns were drawn in the locker room. Don't these guys read the newspaper or watch Sportscenter? If this is true they are bot going to jail. Plaxico Burress went and I suspect that these two guys are going to be in serious trouble too. Especially doing this in Washington D.C where they have so much crime in that area. Gilbert Arenas has to be the most confusing person in the world. He signed this enormous contract a few years ago and has not done a thing to legitimize the deal at all. He tells the team when he wants to play and rehab and if he is ready to play. I know the Wizards don't matter in world of sports, I mean they fired Micheal Jordan and they have not done a thing in years. In fact this story is even crazier when you find out that Arenas brought his guns to his locker to keep them away from his kids. I don't have a gun and I am not rich either. But a player having an unloaded hand gun in his locker is scary enough. I am sure he would like to shoot the media and the embarrassment this kind of attention brings to a team that is sorry anyway is crazy. I hope that these men are vindicated in the end and that I never have to hear about teammates pulling guns on each other. What a way to start the year.
Then there is Mike Leach down at Texas Tech. Allegedly he told a player to go stand in a closet against his will because he had a concussion instead keeping him in the trainers room or on a hospital table. The school fired him because they did not believe he would do such a thing number 1 and the school did not want to pay him the 800,000 dollars that they owed him if he made it to new years eve. Leach says that the player Adam James is retaliating against him because of lack of playing time and that his father who is ESPN analyst Craig James is wielding his national influence to expose a situation that is blown way out of proportion. If it is true that he locked a player with a concussion in a closet he should be arrested, much less left in charge of our children. Leach has not denied the story but says that doctors agree with what he did so he does not understand why he is being fired. All Leach has done is put Texas Tech on the football map over the decade he was the coach. The school did not want to retain him last year but reluctantly signed him early last year. He is too good a coach not be hired but if he committed this offense i have reservations about him. He has the trainer defending him so I guess this is a wait and see story.
The Next one is the supposed super fight between Mayweather and Manny P. Pacquaio is now suing the Golden Boy Production and Mayweather for slander and defamation. All of this due to the fact that Pacquaio won't talk a blood test that is recognized by the world. Allegedly Golden boy and Pretty boy have said that Pacquiao is on the juice because he has jumped so many weight classes and is knocking out too many bigger fighters. He knocked out Dela Hoya in their fight. What the hell is going on here. Just take the blood test and beat Mayweather and retire as the greatest fighter we have ever seen. What is the problem with that. Unless you have something to hide take the test. This is crazy. No one wants to watch you fight Paul Maliaggi or Shane Mosely. Take the test and if are a blood doper you are a fraud. If you are clean then move on. Simple.
The last one cracks me up. The NFL allegedly may be under investigation because of the Colts not playing their starters in a football game. Apparently in 2005 the league itself looked into creating a policy that would force teams to play their players in all games. The league decided then that they couldn't because you can't make a team play players. In fact this latest investigation isn't going do anything either. The only way that all players will play all the time is if money is tied to performance. The only other way to make players play is if the fans stop showing up to games then there is no money to be made. So if fans know ahead of time that Peyton Manning is not going to play maybe they would not show up. I would show up no matter. Getting NFL tickets are hard enough and Die hard fans may boo but they will still show up. So in other words the NFL is screwed and should leave this subject alone.
